*New Single Alert* @jonesformayor "Stop And Frisk"

We premiered this on "The Vantage Point" a few months ago inline with some current issues In Jones We Trust has released "Stop & Frisk" to the people via injoneswetrust.com 

Pyer Moss designer Jean-Raymond's #theyhavenames shirt is proper use of a platform.

At his Spring 2015 menswear collection Kerby Jean-Raymond wore a shirt in tribute to the many black men who have been victims of the justice system from their murders by police, to their killers not being held accountable for their crimes to the full extent of the law. He has recognized that he has a platform to influence others and is using his position to keep his peers and supporters aware. Though the shirt may not make it to production this still draws attention to the issues at hand and was an excellent use of his platform. 

According to Jean-Raymond’s Instagram @kerbito , “I screened my shirt by hand, I hit my head in the process and never cleaned off the screen so it’s ruined. I can’t make you one right now. Not sure if I even want to. I’m working with some interesting people currently to figure out ways to make a lasting impact on our culture. What we come up with may or may not be as public. Thank you for supporting and inquiring #useyourplatform” 

@OfficialWyld_7 "7's are Wyld" EP Review

I have one of those “Hip” mothers and some months ago she sent Wyld7 and his manager my way to network for my radio show. After giving his single “Mad Max” a spin after it was sent to me I went ahead and gave his catalog a listen as he dropped his EP “7’s are Wyld”.

Wyld 7 draws in the mainstream style of hip-hop with songs like “Mad Max”, “The Boys” and “Kill the bottle” But even the root of these songs are more than generic street anthems. Mad Max is an ode to the Indians who follow their chiefs in a world where everyone wants to be the big man.  While certain lyrics in “Kill the Bottle” sheds light on reasons and aftermaths of living a party lifestyle while maintaining a party vibe for club goers. 

Taking a step out of the typical topics of hip-hop and rap Wyld 7 gives you songs like “Recollect” which follows the life and death of a drug addict. This took me back to songs of the 90s that touched on the real issues the urban society and inner city see. Then we have the 90s style beat for “Loose Lips” that serves sunny cali low rider.
